Problem 3(15 points) The deck structure below is supported by six thin columns/struts as shown. The applied load at point D is in the x-z plane and the applied load at point K is in the negative z-direction. Ignoring the weight of the deck itself, find the forces in members AE and CJ , clearly indicating whether they are in tension or compression.
